- 240 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 480 ml buttermilk
- 8 chicken pieces
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp salt
- 960 ml vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of salt. Add the chicken pieces and ensure they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 2
In another bowl, mix together the flour, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder.
Step 3
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and shake off any excess. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Place the coated chicken on a wire rack and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 175°C (350°F).
Step 5
Fry the chicken pieces in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each piece for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the chicken from the oil and place on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Serve hot and enjoy your crispy fried chicken!
